a dynamic speaker.
Leadership Day 2000 is an event
that will be held in the Humanities
building from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on

Registration to attend Leadership
Day 2000 was done in style. There
was a tie-dye registration party on
Wednesday, Oct. 18 in the Wagoner
Student Street from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
and 5-7 p.m.
"The first 50 students to register
received a free Leadership Day 2000
t-shirt that they could tie-dye as they
registered," Geoff Wetrosky, ASA
president and organizer of the Lead-ership
Day activities, said.
The entire event is highlighted by
the presence of motivational speaker
Jep Enck, president of Enck
Resources. He has received local
and national awards for his speaking
skills.
"He has been compared to Robin
Williams in his speaking style,"
Wetrosky said.
Mary Toso, director of student
activities, said that leadership func-tions
such as this have been benefi-cial
in the past.
"A lot of times you have to go off
campus to get any type of leadership
training," Toso said. "We have a lot
of wonderful resources here and we

111-year-old building,
Old Main.
Old Main is the oldest exist-ing
building on campus, having
been built in 1889. This age
factor has convinced Augus-tana
officials to give the build-ing
a refreshed look.
The roof has been reshingled
and is getting new copper
flashing. The gutters are being
resealed, and boards are being
placed over windows.
All this does not come with-out
sacrifice, however. It is
causing some students to lose

Josh Van Gorkom said. "It's

During a trip back to South
Dakota to meet with young people
around the state, Sen. Tim Johnson
visited campus on Tuesday to meet
with some of Augie's youth.
After speaking with one of Jim
Meader's advanced government
classes, an informal meeting with

the Augustana College Democrats
was held in the Huddle. There he
spoke about a few of today's
issues, such as campaign finance
reform and the budget surplus, and
also addressed questions brought
up by those in attendance.

When students begin
searching for colleges or
universities to apply to,
they no longer look just at
academic programs, activ-ities
and graduate place-ment.
They lOok at the
criminal element associat-ed
with the college.
This is due to the refine-ment
of a federal law
which requires colleges
and universities receiving
federal aid to publicly
announce tallies of all
alleged homicides, rapes,
assaults, arson, hate
crimes, burglaries, liquor
law violations and drug
arrests.
Some colleges are under
fire for not having factual-ly
reported crime statistics
in the past. Mount St.
Clare College of Clinton,
Iowa, was the first school
to be fined for violating
the federal law last April.
For the entire 1995 -96
school year, they reported
no crimes at all.
Federal officials say that
Mount St. Clare is just one
of dozens of colleges that
for a number of years have
underreported crimes that
occur on their campuses.
Critics believe this is done
to avoid bad publicity for
the university. This idea
raises obvious problems,
like student safety. Mount
St. Clare contended that a
campus policy stated if
charges were not formally
filed, the crime did not
exist.
Now federal law
requires that every univer-sity
and college provide a
crime report for its stu-dents
and employees. So
where is Augustana's?
Jim Bies, dean of stu-dents,
made the informa-tion
available to students
on Oct. 2 with an e-mail
he sent to every student
with an OLE address.
The . information is
available to anyone in the
world, on the Web
(www.augie.edu/student_s
erv/crimestats.html) and
hard copies can be found
at the dean of students or
the campus safety offices.
